Good commercial premises in Copenhagen are hard to secure, and for a restaurant, café or shop the lease can matter as much as the business itself. Review the rent, indexation, term and notice terms, and get confirmation that the landlord accepts you as the new tenant. Check for neighbour complaints and limits on opening hours or outdoor seating. Contracts and leases will normally be in Danish, so a Danish lawyer is a sound investment for international buyers.

Buyer considerations in CopenhagenHigh rents and wages squeeze margins, so look at what remains after fixed costs — not just at revenue.Buying

High rents and wages squeeze margins, so look at what remains after fixed costs — not just at revenue. For restaurants and cafés, the alcohol licence is personal and must be applied for by you, and the food business must be registered in your name. In salons and clinics the value lies in the practitioners and the client base, and in consultancies it often lies in the owner’s network. Agree a transition period long enough to move those relationships over to you.
